libcouchbase3 3.0 (new formula) #49103
Conversation
This is a clone of libcouchbase.rb. Libcouchbase 3 represent new version of the library with backwards incompatible API.

The highest version number should always have the main name. libcouchbase in this case. The old version should be overwritten and can optionally be reinstated if there is enough of a demand. |

This is a specific document. It's not a homepage.

It's the homepage for this particular library. We could also send them to the README on github, but the page pointed to here is the best intro for most developers.

We need a test that exercises the some of the functionality of the app. Version checks or usage checks (foo --version or foo --help) are not sufficient, as explained in the formula cookbook.
In most cases, a good test would involve running a simple test case: run #{bin}/foo input.txt.
- Then you can check that the output is as expected (with assert_equal or assert_match on the output of shell_output)
- You can also check that an output file was created, if that is expected: assert_predicate testpath/"output.txt", :exist?
Some advice for specific cases:
- If the formula is a library, compile and run some simple code that links against it. It could be taken from upstream's documentation / source examples.
- If the formula is for a GUI program, try to find some function that runs as command-line only, like a format conversion, reading or displaying a config file, etc.
- If the software cannot function without credentials, a test could be to try to connect with invalid credentials (or without credentials) and confirm that it fails as expected.
- Same if the software requires a virtual machine, docker instance, etc. to be running.
